Muscle Milk

I’m impressed with Cytosport Muscle Milk and I say that after finishing a tub of the protein powder. I’ve heard great things about it but had never tried it till now. What I’ve heard about Cytosport Muscle Milk regarding taste and quality do indeed seem to be true.

On the market are quite a few whey protein powders and all are very similar. Consumers pick their favorite based on price, brand loyalty, or taste. But there are different types of protein powder made for different uses. A pure whey protein powder is for post workout and protein powder blends are for all day or right before bedtime. There is a variety of protein powders used as well such as whey concentrate, whey isolate protein and a combination of the two.

Cytosport Muscle Milk is a protein blend best used throughout the day and right before bedtime. It’s a blend of whey and casein proteins in Cytosport’s special Evopro formula. So I recommend it for all day use but not right after a workout. Muscle Milk is touted by Cytosport as nature’s ultimate anabolic protein modeled after human mother’s milk which of course has anabolic growth properties.

Cytosport Muscle Milk has alpha micellar casein and beta micellar casein, Alpha-Lactalbumin, purified bovine colostrums extract (secrotory IgA, IGF-1), lactoferrin, glutamine peptides among others. What are these ingredients and what are they for? Alpha lactalbumin has a greater protein efficiency ratio than whey and casein protein. It also has a higher biological value and has large amounts of essential amino acids. Bovine colostrum is produced by cows during the 24 to 48 hours after giving birth. It is an important immunity booster. It contains immune factors, antioxidants, minerals, enzymes, vitamins. It is identical to human colostrums but at stronger levels. There are claims that this colostrum raises IGF-1 levels.

The whey and casein protein blend is popular right before bedtime because the proteins are absorbed at different rates. Whey protein is digested rapidly which means your body is hit with amino acids rapidly. Raising amino acid blood levels stops muscle breakdown. But about half is used by your body for muscle breakdown and the other half for protein synthesis. Casein protein is absorbed slower and by the time whey is used up the casein protein kicks in.

Some people complain that Cytosport Muscle Milk has a lot of fat, more than other protein powders. Most of the fats are medium chain tryglicerides which are burned as energy and increase calorie burning.

Everyone loves the taste and it smells good and tastes great even if mixed with water. I recommend milk or soy milk though for a really creamy shake.
